Etymology is wrong edit

Anatoly Liberman's An Analytical Dictionary of English Dictionary: An Introduction has 4 pages on the etymology of this word. "Slowness" is a folk etymology. See wikt:slowworm. DCDuring (talk) 05:05, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Taxonomy edit

The taxonomy of this genus is confused and currently under review: I don't have the time to detail exactly what the state of things is now, but added a note below the classification section, as someone had previously listed "Anguis graeca" under the extant species (which may be correct).
